Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Sportage

I was driving my vehicle on cruise control at 77 mph on I-95 with my entire family. The engine just shut off and the engine light came on along with all of the other lights on the dashboard. We had to try to pull over without causing an accident and make it to the side of the highway in which we could safely wait for help. The kia dealership in st. Augustine (family kia) did not acknowledge the TSB pi1803y/z (rev4) or offer this to me. I believe that kia should be concerned about keeping the consumers feeling safe in their vehicles and give us a reason to recommend the kia brand. There are several complaints online about this issue. Kia needs to make it right for me and for other kia consumers.

Driving down the road my car just shut down had it hauled home then had a mechanic look at it he said my motor was seized lock up he pull my oul pan it is full of metal it has 125000 miles I called kia its not in tje recall it has the 2. 4l engine how can 1 be on recall not tje other they tell me they cant help me.

We purchased this car from used car lot with a new inspection sticker. Vehicle had 83k miles at purchase. Vehicle engine blew at 84k miles. Driving approx. 40mp and the car shut down. Wouldn't restart. Garage said the engine is blown.

While driving at 40 mph on 4800 south street in salt lake city, utah the engine shut down. I pulled over immediately. I could not turn the engine over with the starter or any other means. It was towed into the kia dealer and I have been told the engine is seized up and has to be replaced. The dealer has told me this has been a problem with some of these 2013 model years. Kia has said this particular car is not on their recall list. If you look online the description of the problem of cars with a recall is exactly what happened here. I belive this is a real problem with this particular engine and kia is not standing behind it.

My husband and I were getting off the interstate onto a ramp and the car shut off while driving without any warning and we put it in park and turned it off and it wouldn't crank back up and when we lifted the hood the engine was smoking. I previously taken my car to the dealership where they said they had to re program it because it was jolting coward while driving and this was very dangerous and almost caused me to wreck into the back of someone.
